What is a boomer shooter?
Pretty much any shooter that plays like Quake or Doom
Oh.
Then I love boomer shooters lmao.
I think the question is more if you like the term.
I don't worry myself on how the kids nowadays call the stuff I like. I just like what I like.
Right. That was the question.
Then you find yourself in a great position. I’m about to get Boltgun myself
As opposed to more modern twitch (faster reflex) shooters.
they also go by retro, classic, or arena shooters, like 90s doom
Back in my day we used to just call them shooters.
@MoreIronOre @toxicbubble The gaming community will call them Zoomer Shooters in the next couple of decades. 😆
